Chiropractic is a method of spinal adjustments which aim to encourage alignment of the spine. Chiropractic is a harmony of science and philosophy with the aim of helping the body to function at its optimum. Chiropractic is focused on achieving spinal alignment through specific and targeted adjustments to improve the biomechanical health of your spine. Everyday thousands of people visit Chiropractors as a way to stay healthy, increase flexibility and improve posture for better life and sports performance.
What is the cause of your symptoms?
Your nervous system controls and regulates every movement and every process in your body. Misalignments in your spine can cause interferences with your nervous system, leading to negative effects on your health, performance and in some cases causing symptoms including pain, numbness, pins & needles and tingling.
Unlike pain killers which can mask your symptoms, Chiropractors looks to diagnose the main underlying cause and treat these accordingly. To find the cause we take a full history, perform a full physical including a neurological, cardiovascular, abdominal and respiratory screening, range of motion testing and gait evaluation. There maybe times which we may need to refer you back to your GP for further tests.
Your Chiropractor will use gentle and effective adjustments to correct any misalignments and encourage your bodies own healing mechanisms.
So what is next?
Our main aim is to improve your quality of life. Whether this is through reducing your pain, increasing flexibility, improving posture, maintaining a healthy body or increasing your performance; we help people manage life in a more positive manner.
Before we can perform any adjustments we need to find out some details about you! Your Chiropractor will run through a detailed personal history including details on your symptoms, any medications, operations or past treatments. We will then run through a physical examination to get a good overview of how your body is functioning. This physical will include assessing your joint range of motion, muscle strength, gait, skin sensations, neurological function and perform some specific orthopaedic tests.
At the end of the examination we will explain any findings and our treatment plan. If you are still happy to proceed then we can proceed with any necessary adjustments.
